Thank you for this update.
Not much help, but I suspect the unit in question was in fact Air Headquarters Middle East Communication Flight/Unit which had formed at Heliopolis in Aug 1939.
My source is Flying Training and Support Units since 1912 by Ray Sturtivant and John Hamlin.

The unit was still known to be in existance in May 1942. No date of disbandment is listed unfortunately, but "your" listed date is covered anyway.

Cheers
Stig

PS: Looking very much forward to MAW 5. An outstanding job so far!
